Subject: Oak Island minor mod for mag anomaly. Permit 31-20
Attachments: oak island min mod. 31-20-08122020165821.pdf
Hi all,
Please see the minor modification for Oak Island's upcoming winter beach nourishment project (Permit #31-20) which
allows for removal of potential debris within the magnetic anomaly buffer. If it confirmed to be debris and can be
successfully removed (and properly disposed of), this mod removes the previously required buffer.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Heather
